No, you get to keep the meat. Not sure how much meat a goat or ram gives but often families will keep a third for themselves, give a third to friends and the other third to charity. If you have the money you can buy a cow or even a camel.
Until this year people used to sacrifice the animals in the street but now you have to take your animal to the abattoir where it will be killed in accordance to the Muslim tradition of a single cut to the throat.

If it's a ritual slaughter, are those amounts tithing, or do you get the meat? How much meat would a goat or ram yield?

That is a very interesting post... I just love it!
It's so odd, seeing the animals in that modern parking lot. What a stark contrast between traditional and modern!
Well i guess there are planning who goes first ...........?
